How to list on Vinted where price is the whole conversation

Create the listing

1. Open the form. In the app tap Sell; on the web go to Items → Add. Photos come first in the flow.
2. Cover photo. Item filling the frame, plain background, daylight. Vinted's grid crops to a tall card, so keep the item centred with nothing important at the edges.
3. Title (100 characters). Brand + item type + the detail + size: Zara Black Satin Midi Skirt Size M. Use every character you need — a title with no brand and no size does not appear in a filtered search.
4. Description. Condition in plain words, then named flaws with a photo reference, then fit, material, measurements, and anything a buyer would ask (smoke-free, where it came from). Keep it readable on a phone.
5. Category, brand, size, colour. Structured fields that drive Vinted's filters. Choose the brand from Vinted's list — Vinted's catalogue rules require the brand field to match the item, and unrelated brand names in the text can get a listing hidden.
6. Condition. Pick the grade Vinted offers (new with tags down to satisfactory) and then explain it in the text. "Good" means something different to every buyer; "worn twice, no holes or stains" does not.
7. Price. Price low enough to survive an offer. Buyers here expect to negotiate, so set the number above what you would actually take and answer with a counter.
8. Shipping. Choose which shipping providers you make available to buyers. Then publish.

The 100-character title and how Vinted search reads it

Title formula: [Brand] [Item type] [Colour or detail] [Size]
Example: Nike Air Force 1 White EU 42 — Like New — 39 of the 100 characters used, every word searchable.

What Vinted charges

Zero per cent is why Vinted wins the take-home comparison on almost every price — but zero per cent of a bargain price is still a bargain price. Compare shops before you decide where an item goes: this page's model is the approximate one this repo publishes at /api/marketplaces.

Photos on Vinted

• Cover: the item alone, centred, filling the frame, on a plain surface in daylight.
• Shot order: cover, back, label/brand tag, fabric or hardware detail, flaws, measurements.
• One photo per flaw. Vinted buyers return over things they were not shown, and a named flaw with a photo is a defence, not a deterrent.
• Match the condition field to the pictures — a "very good" grade over photos of visible wear is how you lose a case.
• No stock images for used items, no watermarks or text overlays, no borrowed brand imagery.

Shipping on Vinted

1. The buyer pays for shipping and chooses the provider at checkout. You decide which providers you make available when you list.
2. After a sale Vinted sends a prepaid label (or a label code) to your email and your Vinted inbox, with the drop-off instructions for it.
3. Ship within the deadline shown on the order. Vinted cancels and refunds orders that miss it, and a cancellation costs you the sale you already had.
4. Pack to the parcel size you selected. An oversized parcel rejected at drop-off is a cancelled order, not a delay.
5. Ship with the provider the buyer chose. Vinted cannot track a parcel sent any other way, and switching it after the sale is not allowed.
6. Leave feedback promptly — it is what the next buyer reads before sending an offer.

Common Vinted mistakes

• Title with no brand and no size, so filtered searches never surface it.
• Condition grade chosen to flatter the item, then contradicted by the photos.
• Ignoring or slow-rolling offers — on Vinted the offer is the start of the sale.
• Pricing at the top of the comp range on a platform whose buyers are explicitly there for a bargain.
• Unrelated brand names or hashtag walls in the description. Vinted's catalogue rules say listings can be hidden for it.
• One bundle listing for two separate items, or the same item listed twice — also against the catalogue rules.
• Missing the shipping deadline and losing the order automatically.
• Skipping measurements, so fit questions turn into returns.

One-tap copy: paste into Vinted

Edit in place, tap Copy, paste into Vinted's item form. The counter tracks the 100-character title limit. Worked example for a pair of trainers — swap in your brand, size, measurements and flaws.

These links go to Vinted's own web form — this guide does not claim a Vinted app deep-link scheme it has not verified. The copy buttons work either way: copy, then paste into the app or the web form.
